Really can't beat Persona 3 as Chrono-Kun might have ever-so-slightly hinted at in the above post But yeah, probably better to get the FES version this week (I know I am).

Also have to echo the suggestions for FF7/8; both amazing games (FF VIII is my favourite game of all time). I know this is stretching it quite a bit since it's a PS1 game AND a 2D game but the PS port of FFVI is a damn good turn based RPG. Word of warning though: the load times are horrendous and actually made me give up on it so not one for the impatient.
